HARLOW Council hosted a service outside the Civic Centre yesterday (Monday 22 June 2015) as celebrations begun across the Country to mark Armed Forces Day, which is on Saturday 27 June 2015.

A short service held at 11am, was attended by the Chair of Harlow Council, Councillor Tony Hall and former serving members of the Armed Forces. Councillors, Council Officers and members of the public also attended the event. It included raising the Armed Forces flag while the national anthem was sung.

The flag, which recognises the contribution made by those who serve and have served in the Armed Forces, will now remain up for the rest of the week.
